Google explains that the Identity Check feature enhances device security with biometric authentication requirements to access critical accounts and device settings when users are outside their designated trusted locations. It is said to offer additional protection for Google and Samsung Accounts on eligible devices. The feature allows users to set trusted locations to minimise the need for frequent authentication. Google is bringing Android’s Identity Check feature to several smartphones. It is confirmed to roll out to select Pixel and Samsung Galaxy smartphones initially. It will later be released to handsets from other competing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that run on Android operating systems. How safe is personal data on android devices ?
